Entrepreneurial Passion Fuels the Growth of the Automated Parking Garage Industry
— Yuegong Machinery Enters the Automated Parking Garage Industry Several years ago, Yuegong Holding Group, with a strategic vision, set its sights on the automated parking garage market and obtained the necessary production qualifications in 2006. However, due to an immature market environment at the time, large-scale production was not yet initiated. After several years of research, development, and refinement, as market conditions gradually matured, Yuegong Machinery began mass production in April 2012, leveraging the company’s existing steel‑structure manufacturing capabilities. Through continuous innovation, the firm successfully established itself within the automated parking garage sector. Since then, under the leadership of its general manager, the company has focused on attracting talent, providing technical training, upgrading equipment, expanding markets, improving internal systems, standardizing management, and reducing energy consumption—unleashing entrepreneurial passion and energy in this new field. Following more than half a year of dedicated effort, Yuegong Machinery’s automated parking garages can now be found across Shandong, Sichuan, Tianjin, Ningbo, Shaoxing, and other regions, securing a solid foothold in the national automated parking garage industry. Automated Parking Garages In the coming years, the production of automated parking garages will be the most effective solution to the challenge of limited parking spaces. Currently, Yuegong Machinery boasts its own teams for technology, manufacturing, installation, and marketing, and remains highly confident in this burgeoning industry. In 2013, Yuegong Machinery will continue to pursue the growth of the automated parking garage sector with unwavering entrepreneurial enthusiasm. First, it will further expand its market reach by refining its marketing incentive mechanisms, establishing three regional offices in Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Wenzhou, and implementing an agency system to reduce operating costs while ensuring product quality, timely delivery, and excellent after-sales service. Second, the company will boost production capacity by adding and upgrading equipment, optimizing output, setting up a steel‑structure production line to increase labor productivity, and constructing additional factory facilities to scale up operations. Third, it will strengthen its workforce by recruiting and developing young, capable professionals to bolster the leadership team and refine its organizational structure; hiring mechanical and electrical engineers to reinforce R&D efforts and enhance technical expertise, thereby increasing competitiveness; and intensifying skills training to improve employees’ operational proficiency. Finally, the company will tighten management practices by rigorously enforcing material approval, procurement, and issuance procedures to prevent loopholes; implementing a comprehensive “three‑inspection” system before, during, and after production to ensure strict quality control; and adopting various cost‑saving measures to maximize efficiency and profitability. Yuegong Machinery is firmly committed to realizing the promising future of automated parking garages. By overcoming challenges and forging ahead, the company aims to swiftly elevate “Yuegong” into the industry’s leading tier within the next few years.

In the afternoon of January 2013, Deputy General Manager and Union Chairman Tang Xueren, along with two managers from the General Affairs Department—a total of three people—carved out time from the hectic installation work on a new project to visit employees facing hardship, braving light rain and snow. First, they went to the home of Zhang Mingde, an employee who is recuperating at home after a serious illness, bringing him essential supplies such as cooking oil, rice, flour, and eggs. On behalf of General Manager Yu and all the company’s employees, Chairman Tang wished him a happy New Year, urged him to overcome his illness, recover soon, and return to work. As they departed, Chairman Tang repeatedly encouraged him to report any difficulties to the union, assuring him that everyone would stand together to surmount challenges. Next, they visited Feng Chunliang, another employee suffering from femoral head necrosis but continuing to work despite his condition, delivering gifts and New Year greetings. Chairman Tang also inquired in detail about his family life and health, and instructed Manager Han, who accompanied them, to do his utmost to support Feng in his work, ensuring that all employees feel the care and concern of company leadership. Both employees expressed their gratitude for the company leaders’ thoughtful visit during their busy schedules. They pledged to return to work as soon as they recover, vowing to work even harder and contribute to the continued growth and success of Yuehua.
Shandong Yuegong Steel Structure: Going Global
Success may sometimes hinge on chance, but sustained success has no shortcuts. Over the past two decades, Yuegong Steel Structure has weathered countless challenges—not merely through luck or by catching the favorable winds of reform and opening-up—but thanks to years of honing fundamental skills and a clear, well‑defined strategic positioning. Strategic Focus and Positioning In the 1990s, with massive inflows of foreign capital, the construction of steel‑structure factories by foreign‑invested enterprises and Sino‑foreign joint ventures in Hong Kong, Japan, and other regions expanded significantly. Domestically, steel‑structure companies grew rapidly, giving rise to industrial clusters in areas such as Xiaoshan and Dongguan, naturally intensifying competition among them. Faced with both new rivals and longstanding challenges, and amid increasingly homogenized competition, it became crucial for companies to adopt long-term strategies and seize opportunities early. Targeting the immense market potential of the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei and Yangtze River Delta economic zones, and weighing the preferential policies offered by the Shandong provincial government to attract investment, Yuegong Group took its first strategically significant step: on May 7, 2003, Zhejiang Yuegong Steel Structure Co., Ltd., a Sino‑Japanese joint venture, established a wholly owned subsidiary in the Jixi Industrial Park of Pingyin County, Jinan, Shandong—Shandong Yuegong Steel Components Co., Ltd. was officially registered. Refining Management Philosophy and Breaking Through in Marketing After more than a year of hard work, Shandong Yuegong began to take shape, with its Phase I plant covering over 20,000 square meters and primarily producing light‑steel components. With robust physical infrastructure in place, the company also started building its “soft” capabilities from the ground up. Following the completion of the initial facility, General Manager Luo Yinchang devoted himself fully to employee training and establishing sound corporate systems, replicating the group’s successful management model and personnel development framework. However, local customs and mounting competitive pressures prompted gradual adjustments to their marketing and market strategies. Luo Yinchang himself strongly advocates institutionalizing and standardizing corporate governance; in management—including compensation—he champions the principle that “systems supersede the general manager.” At its inception, Shandong Yuegong was positioned as a regional complement to Zhejiang Yuegong Steel Structure, leveraging the latter’s credentials to expand operations across northern China. Yet ultimately, survival demands growth. After several years of refinement, Shandong Yuegong had built considerable strength and assembled a stable sales team. In 2007, it obtained Grade‑I manufacturing qualifications, while construction of a second phase—focused on heavy‑steel fabrication—was already underway. How could the company further scale up its business? This became its top priority. When drafting its 2008 work plan, Luo Yinchang resolved to elevate marketing to a central role, implementing a two‑pronged strategy conducted in parallel rather than sequentially. First, he formulated locally tailored marketing approaches, adopting a “two‑legged” strategy; second, he increased investment in cultivating both the sales force and project managers. By simultaneously engaging in component fabrication and project execution, the company ensured balanced, continuous, and stable production, significantly boosting output. Today, its 40,000‑square‑meter plant boasts a monthly capacity of over 3,000 tons, with fabrication accounting for 40% of total revenue. Strategic Human Resource Management Senior leaders at Yuegong firmly believe that long-term enterprise development hinges not on sheer size—expanding is not the goal, but strengthening and refining is. Looking ahead, Luo Yinchang stated unequivocally: “In the coming years, we must pursue steady, sustainable growth. Beyond deepening and perfecting our existing efforts—establishing a customer‑oriented service system centered on marketing—we will also institute meticulous management practices and refine our performance‑evaluation framework.” A robust evaluation system creates a fairer, more transparent platform for employee advancement. He candidly acknowledged: “Ultimately, competition between companies will shift from vying over capital and products to competing for talent. That’s why we place great emphasis on nurturing human resources.” At its founding, Shandong Yuegong’s senior leadership was drawn directly from headquarters; today, this “nepotistic” recruitment approach is evolving toward localization, youthfulness, and professionalization, embracing an ethos of “recruiting talent regardless of background—whether you come from headquarters or were hired locally in Shandong—and promoting those who demonstrate both virtue and competence.” In his 2012 work plan, Luo Yinchang wrote: “Creating value for customers and building platforms for employees are the cornerstones of corporate development. We must recruit, cultivate, and deploy talent without rigid constraints, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to grow and that every aspiring individual finds room to thrive.” Through reform, Yuegong refines itself; through innovation, it charts a course for the future. What began in 2002 as a single strategic move by Zhejiang Yuegong has blossomed into one of Shandong Province’s leading steel‑structure enterprises, integrating design, fabrication, and installation—and serving as a vanguard for the entire Yuegong Group. Shandong marked the first step in Yuegong’s global expansion strategy, a bold and resounding beginning—but certainly not the last. Now twenty years old, Yuegong stands more mature and rational than ever. Beyond fine-tuning its product portfolio and expanding into high‑end steel structures characterized by complex geometries, advanced technologies, and demanding fabrication processes, the company has set its sights even farther, choosing its next destination for continued outward growth.
